Controlling Gaussian and mean curvatures at microscale by sublimation and condensation of smectic liquid crystals

The self-assembly of soft matter is sensitive to their morphology, which is changeable. Here, Kim et al.show how evaporation and condensation at high temperature modify the surface of a smectic liquid crystal film in a way controlled by the local Gaussian and mean curvature of its layered structure.
